Description

In 1985 they started the UK’s first paediatric brain injury rehabilitation service and today they run the country’s largest service of its kind from their national specialist centre in Tadworth, Surrey.

As one of the only services which can provide the most complex rehabilitation to children and young people with acquired brain injury outside of a hospital setting, their work sees them support children and young people aged 0 – 18 from right across the UK.

Neurorehabilitation programmes at The Children’s Trust are flexible and adapt to the needs of each child. Their multidisciplinary team offers an integrated approach to assessment and treatment.  They combine medical care, therapy, education, play and family support to help children achieve their goals and maximise their ability to participate in family life and education when they go home.

• Step-down services

They offer step-down placements supporting the transition from hospital to home for medically-stable children and young people aged 0-18 with complex health needs. These placements typically follow surgical procedures, prolonged stays in intensive care units or where the child might be staying in hospital due to discharge barriers.
